Questions  

Two cells of the same e.m.f. e but different internal resistances,R1 and R2, are connected in series with an external resistance R. The potential drop across the first cell is found to be zero. The external resistance R [Fig.] is

a
r1 - r2
b
r1  / r2
c
r1  r2
d
r1 + r2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Current i in the circuit=2e/r1+r2+RVoltage drop across Ist cell=V1=e−ir1∴ V1=e−2er1R+r1+r2=0∴ e=2er1R+r1+r2  or  R+r1+r2=2r1R=r1−r2
